SOS Laozi


"Some lose yet gain, others gain and yet lose." — Laozi


"True words are not fancy. Fancy words are not true. The good do not debate. Debaters are not good." — Laozi


"The way of heaven is to help and not harm."


"Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look at the stars. This practice should answer the question."


"When things flourish they decline."


"The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be."

all streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. humility gives it its power. if you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them. if you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them." — Laozi (Tao Te Ching)
